re: Let's talk
I guess this is more of a craft beer than a microbrew, but I really like almost every type of Leinenkugel I've had. I think their Red Lager is especially good for tailgating and it seems appropriate for Skins games.

Lenies kick it. I think someone on here pooped on the Berryweiss, I haven't had it, but everything else I have had is good.

re: Let's talk
This doesn't so much offer up a tip on a new beer to rush out and try, because everyone's had it, but I just love it and rejoice for this time of year because of it:
Sam Adam's Octoberfest Just awesome.

re: Let's talk
Great freakin' beer. We switched our taps over from Summerfest recently... and there really is no comparison. Octoberfest > the rest of the seasonals. Winter lager isn't bad either.

Hard to go wrong with anything from Sam's, but yeah the Octoberfest is probably their best.

re: Let's talk
Brooklyn Lager is pretty money. It's not hard to hammer through a six pack of them and be good and buzzed without even realizing.

re: Let's talk
Excellent micro brews out here in Colorado. I remember hearing that Colorado has more micros than any other state...
The two biggest breweries, here in Fort Collins are Odell's and New Belgium. As far as I know, Fat Tire is the only beer sold outside of the state. Odell's Brewery -- 90 Schilling (Amber Ale) -- Levity (Amber Ale) -- IPA (India Pale Ale) -- 5 Barrel (Pale Ale) New Belgium Brewery -- Fat Tire (Amber Ale) -- Mighty Arrow (Pale Ale) As you can see, I like Ales. If you ever get a chance to try any of these, I highly recommend it. 90 Schilling is my favorite beer right after Yuengling. Mighty Arrow is probably my next favorite. If any of you are ever in Colorado, come to Fort Collins and tour the breweries. It's a lot of fun, and you get to sample tasty beer for free!

re: Let's talk
Ghetto - I agree with your list of great CO beers. Oskar Blues out of Lyons is all over DC with Dales Pale and Chubb, since they are in cans. I wish Breckenridge 471 small batches would get east.

Breck Brewery is definitely good too. I like Avalanche the best (probably 'cause it's an amber ale). Tommyknockers (Idaho Springs) and Left Hand (Longmont) are also favorites of mine.

re: Let's talk
Breckenridge Pale Ale has been a staple in my rotation of drinking dank beers. Very under rated brewery. Dales is good, but honest to god I wish they put it in a bottle.

re: Let's talk
Shiner Bock is my favorite. So happy they have it here in San Diego since I could not get it in NYC. Yuengling is awesome too...really like their version of a Black and Tan also.
Recently had a local macrobrew--Karl Strauss Octoberfest that was very good. I miss the Pumpkin Ale at the Capitol City Brewing Company during this time of year--that was damn good and tasty. |

Another excellent beer I had recently was Alaskan Brewery Winter Ale. So good. Try it if you can find it.

re: Let's talk
While techincally not a microbrew, I had a Full Moon the other night (Blue Moon's Winter Ale) and have to admit it was quite tasty.

re: Let's talk
Ahh you beat me to it! As I was reading thru everyones post I saw a few sam adams winter comments and was gonna recommend the Full Moon, I love it. I love my Guinness and those of you who like the darker brews, Abita(?) brewing company in Louisiana has a beer called Turbo Dog, mmm good stuff. I also like Old Scratch, but I cant remember the brewery. Samuel Smiths nut brown ale is a great english brew. Ive been getting into a lot of german brews lately, and I cant think of any because believe it or not Ive got a little lah lah going on with the only beer to get a blue ribbon, yep its the one and only PBR tonight baby. Its funny because I haven't had PBR since like 1989 and since this past summer its my favorite domestic 'cheap brew'. I actually was making some black and tans the other night with Guinness and PBR and I can hear the chuckles now but let me tell you it was damn tasty. Anyway I love this topic and will Be back on it soon. Although my wife hates this toast, gee I wonder why but when I get a chance to hang with some of the ol bros our first toast is always... Heres to being single, seeing double and sleeping triple, Cheers!
